The codev dashboard showing project selection, domains, and server connection
**codev** is a collaborative development stack for Salesforce. It brings together everything your team needs to develop, validate, release, and operate Salesforce projects — available as a desktop app and a web app.
codev is organized into modular feature areas that can each be activated independently. Use what you need, skip what you don't.
| Feature | What it does |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **CI/CD** | Automate your delivery pipeline. Build packages on merge, promote release candidates, manage releases across environments, and track deployment performance |
| **Pools** | Provision and manage pools of sandboxes and scratch orgs. Define pool configurations, assign environments to developers, and monitor pool health |
| **Inspect** | Validate before you ship. Run code analysis, test your Apex, validate changes against target orgs, and manage review environments |
| **Ops** | Day-to-day operations. Manage sandbox environments, control user access, install packages, run tests, and handle branch syncing |
| **Insights** | See the bigger picture. Visualize how your packages and domains evolve over time and measure delivery performance |
| **Observe** | Monitor your orgs. Track resource limits, errors across environments, and spot issues before they impact your team |
| **Dev** | Your development home base. Browse workspaces, explore org metadata, pull and push changes, sync with Git, and manage packages |
| **Collaborate** | Stay in sync with your team. Track pull requests, follow live workspace activity, and keep everyone aligned through a shared activity timeline |
